[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 22191, member: 3"] My understanding is that detecting on public land is allowed unless stated otherwise by either local council or at a higher level. I'm not aware of any suburban detecting laws as such, but it's not to say they don't exist. Most councils (if asked) will disapprove the digging up of local sporting grounds, playgrounds or other maintained recreational areas, and some may even have local regulations in place to prohibit it. A simple phone call is all that's needed to find out for sure. School grounds are a definite no go zone and you can be fined for trespassing at a minimum. If in doubt, always check with your local council. Nugget. [/QUOTE]
